Almonds are an exceptional nut with many health benefits. They can be eaten in many forms such as raw, roasted, soaked, as a butter, milk and more. In Ayurvedic Medicine almonds are sweet in taste which hold nutritive and rejuvenatory properties. They help increase nerve tissue, promote tissue regeneration internally and externally and help increase lactation. They are also moistening, softening and soothing to the body especially when soaked in water over night and eaten the next day. You may also find them combined in many Ayurvedic Medicine and Chinese Medicine nutrition regimes. ~Enjoy
